Statement of Faith

God
  • We believe God’s inspired Word is the Bible, without error or fault in all its teaching, and is the only source of divine knowledge. 
  • We believe in the Trinity, which is one God, in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
  • We believe God sent his only Son, Jesus, to Earth as a man, to live a perfect life, to die on a cross as a sacrifice for our sin, and to rise from the grave on the third day.
  • We believe Jesus gave us His Holy Spirit to live within us, grow us and guide us as His disciples.
  • We believe all people are created in the image of God and loved by Him. However, all sin separates us from God because God is holy, just, and hates sin. 
  • We believe God created a real Heaven and a real Hell.
 
Trusting Jesus
  • We believe Jesus is the only path to restore our relationship with God. He restored our relationship by paying the penalty for our sin when he died on the cross.
  • We believe we can have a personal relationship with Jesus and spend eternity in Heaven with Him by believing and accepting what Jesus has done for us on the cross.
  • We believe it is by grace we are saved, not by the works.
  • We believe our lives should honor God. 
  • We believe God alone is our sole judge.
 
​
Relationships
  • We believe marriage is a sacred covenant between one man, one woman, and God. Intimacy and sexual relations are reserved for that marriage covenant.
  • We believe Jesus desires the unity of his disciples as a powerful witness to the reality of God’s love.
  • We believe real Christian maturity is all about helping people pursue God. The Biblical word for this is discipleship. Jesus modeled relational discipleship.
  • We believe relational discipleship takes place in the context of caring relationships.
  • We believe relational discipleship is rooted in God’s truth. 
  • We believe trusting Jesus, living to honor God and helping people to pursue God are life-long endeavors.
